Great stuff! thanks for the reporting! Any thoughts on the game? Seemed to be a lot tighter, after the blowouts against Cal and Irvine. . . .Lauren Steele looked to have played great in net for the Bruins. She's tough.

I am hopeful that Stanford WWP will be one of Stanford's national championship teams this year.

I only followed the FOSH play by play (live) so I can't add too much.
Lauren Steele, the UCLA goalie, is listed with 13 saves versus 8 goals (1 was a penalty shot, 1 was a power play).
Christine Carpenter, the Stanford goalie, is listed with 8 saves versus 7 goals (0 were penalty shots (1 stopped (i.e., not missed)), 4 were on power plays).
UCLA had way more power plays. If you discount power play goals, the Stanford goalie looks quite good.

I actually expected Stanford to beat UCLA by a bigger margin. Stanford was up 3 at the half and held on. UCLA squeaked by USC by a single goal (10-9), while USC wins haven't been decisive.
